Branch freeze: code frozen at 6e5ab93ffe3792cb90cc1d560d1b4309d98b362f.
Commits after that SHA, up to 9ebb577b0d, are documentation and comment
changes only, from the review pass below. They carry zero behavior change:
the transform stage suite reports the same 26 passed / 708 steps before and
after. The transform logic is still frozen at 6e5ab93ff.

This PR is not approved for merge. It requires a human architectural review because it is a large, security-critical transform rewrite. Green CI and resolved automated review threads are necessary but not sufficient.

Current status

This work now follows:

  • veryfront/veryfront-issue-inbox#605, which decides how to dispose of the larger server-hook strip rewrite
  • veryfront/veryfront-issue-inbox#607, which tracks the destructured server-value leak that is live on main

The earlier reference to issue #112 is historical. That issue is closed and replaced by #605 and #607.

Measured against merge base c4e93cd8c on 2026-08-19:

  • 107 commits
  • 3 files changed
  • 9,136 insertions and 582 deletions
  • frozen tip 6e5ab93ff

The previous description's claims of 31 commits and +3,511 / -261 are obsolete. This branch grew materially while under review, so no earlier review can be treated as approval of the frozen aggregate.

Recommended disposition

  1. Keep this branch frozen.
  2. Extract the minimal fix: harden MCP server auth, CORS, and request size limits #607 fix from moduleScopeDeclarations into a small PR with RED-first coverage for safe destructuring patterns.
  3. Preserve the leak-probe corpus below as a merge gate.
  4. Use fix: remove unused vars in pipeline.behavior.test.ts #605 to decide whether the remaining completion/deferred-execution hardening should be split into reviewable slices or closed.
  5. If this aggregate is still considered for merge, require an explicit human approval after reviewing the frozen SHA.

Frozen-head validation

Local validation on 6e5ab93ff:

  • focused browser server-export strip suite: 440 steps, 0 failed
  • all transform stages: 22 suites / 632 steps, 0 failed
  • deno task typecheck: pass
  • deno task lint:ci: pass
  • generated artifacts: current
  • fully paginated GraphQL audit at freeze time: 144 review threads across 2 pages, 0 unresolved

GitHub CI and the requested exact-head review must still finish on this frozen SHA before any further readiness assessment.

Leak probe corpus

An esbuild keepNames-shaped module with a hook-only helper, a server import, and a secret, varying one line. The merge gate is whether import { db } from "../lib/server/db.ts" or getEnv("ORDERS_SECRET") remains in the browser output.

Varying line Frozen aggregate
typeof v === "object" stripped
v?.constructor === Object stripped
e.constructor.name stripped
v.__proto__ stripped
v instanceof Function stripped
typeof eval stripped
__name reassigned stripped
__name declared twice stripped
const Obj2 = globalThis.Object stripped
globalThis.Object = Object stripped

The final four shapes silently retain the server import and secret on the closed #3825 superset. Preserve this corpus regardless of this PR's disposition.

Residual destructuring leaks

These shapes still ship getEnv("ORDERS_SECRET") into the browser output after
this PR. They follow from the rule stated in the stage file header, that this
pass removes bindings and never removes side effects, so they are known and by
design rather than defects. They are recorded here because the corpus above is
what a reader treats as the coverage claim.

Shape Result Why
for (const { apiKey } of getEnv("ORDERS_SECRET")) leaks The loop is a top level statement, so it roots itself and the whole head survives.
({ apiKey } = getEnv("ORDERS_SECRET")) leaks An assignment pattern binds no declaration, so there is nothing to cut.
catch ({ message: apiKey2 }) reached from a top level try that throws the secret leaks The catch parameter is not a declaration this pass can remove.

Closing these requires removing side effects, not bindings, which is a
different pass. Track it under #605.

Scope relative to main

main already strips most destructuring shapes. PR #3861 (a4ec5b2800, merged
2026-08-19, +161 / -22) closed veryfront-issue-inbox#607 and handles plain,
nested, renamed, rest, array, array rest, parameter and deep mixed patterns.

Measured against origin/main at 3a109046d0, this branch's remaining delta is
four shapes:

  • pattern with default
  • computed key in pattern
  • hoisted var in a pattern
  • re-export of a destructured binding, which becomes a build error and so fails closed

The title and the #607 framing predate #3861. Read this PR as those four shapes
plus the deferred execution work, not as the destructured leak fix.

Safety invariants

  • Never weaken fail-closed behavior to make a test pass.
  • Binding positions in destructuring patterns can become declaration names.
  • Value positions, including computed keys and defaults, must remain visible to reference analysis.
  • Under-pruning is safer than deleting live client code.

P2 Badge Reject reassigned compiler name helpers

Fresh evidence beyond the resolved descriptor-shape case is that helper bindings are accepted solely from their initializers without checking later writes. If the exact helper is subsequently reassigned, such as __name = registerClient, a later __name(dead, "dead") is still classified as compiler metadata and removed with dead, silently deleting the registerClient side effect; require both the helper and captured define-property alias to remain unassigned before granting this exemption.

P2 Badge Reject reassigned compiler-name helper bindings

When a recognized helper is reassigned before an otherwise-dead registration, this set still identifies calls through the binding as inert because only its original initializer is inspected. For example, setName = (target) => (bootClient(), target); const dead = setName(() => KEY, "dead") causes the reachability pass to delete the dead initializer and its observable bootClient() call. Fresh evidence beyond the resolved helper thread is that neither the helper binding nor its captured defineProperty alias is checked for assignment-like writes; reject reassigned aliases/helpers before granting the compiler-metadata exemption.

visitPatternRuntime(node.param, [scope, ...scopes]);
bindPatternNames(scope, node.param);

P2 Badge Bind catch parameters before scanning defaults

When a stripped hook contains catch ({ KEY = KEY }), the right-hand KEY resolves to the catch binding itself and throws from its TDZ, but this traversal scans the pattern before binding its names and therefore records a reference to a module-level KEY. If that outer binding is initialized by const KEY = bootClient(), it is incorrectly added to the hook closure and removed, silently deleting the module-evaluation side effect even though the hook never reads that binding. Bind all catch-pattern names in the catch scope before visiting computed keys and default expressions.

Heads up to whoever is pushing here: this analysis may be deleted, not reviewed

This branch was created as part A of the #3825 split, per the decision recorded at veryfront/veryfront-issue-inbox#112 (comment 5324205750): the destructured-server-value leak and the DCE hardening land here, and the intrinsic-tampering analysis waits on a spike.

Since it was opened, six commits have been added that are intrinsic-tampering work (reject effectful name helpers, guard hoisted Object bindings, preserve throwing identifier reads, prebind catch pattern names, reject reassigned Object helpers, fail closed on unsafe name helpers). The PR was also manually removed from the merge queue 103 seconds after being queued. Flagging the below before more of that code gets written, since it may not survive.

The spike has run, and the premise for this analysis is factually wrong

Full result at veryfront/veryfront-issue-inbox#112 (comment 5324403418). Spike branch spike/issue-112-strip-before-compile, commit 4d6f47c40, not pushed.

The comment above compilerNameHelperBindings justifies the analysis with: "Release modules are compiled before the browser transform, so their declarations are followed by calls like __name(loadPage, "loadPage")". Both release paths were traced and that is not what happens:

  • transformProjectModule (src/release-assets/build-executor.ts ~2486) transforms tenant source from the uploaded release file list. Uncompiled.
  • processFrameworkModule (~1989) transforms framework modules from FRAMEWORK_SRC_DIR. scripts/build/prepare-framework-sources.ts documents those as verbatim copies of src/, transformed JIT at runtime. Uncompiled.
  • No framework module exports a server hook at all.
  • The other caller, src/build/bundler/code-splitter/esbuild-plugin.ts:63, reads raw project files and is already pre-compile in production today.

BROWSER_PIPELINE is parse -> compile -> cssStrip -> browserServerExportsStrip, and compile.ts:97 sets keepNames: true. So the __name registrations this analysis exists to survive are produced by Veryfront's own compile stage, one position earlier in the same pipeline. The pass is reverse-engineering its predecessor's output.

Deadness was confirmed empirically, not by reading: neutering compilerNameHelperBindings to return an empty set leaves the reordered suite green except one unit test that hand-feeds synthetic compiled source to the function directly.

Moving the strip ahead of compile (both the array position in src/transforms/pipeline/index.ts and the stage number, since index.ts:334-348 uses array order normally and re-sorts by stage once a custom plugin registers) makes roughly 7,000 lines unnecessary. Estimated at ~3,268 of the 5,900 stage lines and 126 of 277 test blocks.

What the reorder does NOT remove, so this is not a free win

Two challengers attacked the spike and both disagreed with its own verdict. Pre-compile input carries TS nodes that post-compile input never had, and two walkers in this file disagree about whether they exist: freeReferencedIdentifiers() skips TS* nodes (~line 605), referencedIdentifiers() does not (~line 313). Verified as NEW leaks through the real reordered runPipeline:

  • a hook-only binding referenced from a type position (typeof KEY, ReturnType<typeof loadUser>, interface Shape { l: Loader }, satisfies typeof X) is pinned into the browser
  • the idiomatic ReturnType<typeof schema.parse> pattern drags both the secret and a server-only module in
  • dropUnusedImportBindings() has a legacy branch demoting an unused import to a bare side-effect import; dead post-compile, live pre-compile, so import "./server-only-lib.js" survives
  • @jsxImportSource is silently deleted, because Babel's generator drops the leading comments of a removed statement

The correct fix is a TS-aware split between erased type nodes and value-emitting ones (TSEnumDeclaration, TSModuleDeclaration with a body, TSParameterProperty, TSImportEqualsDeclaration, TSExportAssignment), applied to BOTH walkers. That is real work, and it must land with the reorder.

Why the reorder still wins

The substituted analysis is decidable. Classifying TS nodes as erased versus value-emitting is finite and has a correct answer. Proving a module has not replaced Object.defineProperty is not, which is why 15 review rounds each found a real defect and 21 shapes remain open against the current analysis.

One case is outright improved: export { loader as getServerData } from "./server-only-lib.ts" silently keeps the server module on main today; after the reorder it fails closed.

What is worth keeping regardless

The destructuring support in this work closes a real leak that is still open on main: nested object, array, rest, computed key and sibling-default patterns leak in BOTH orderings. That is capability work and must not be deleted along with the tampering analysis.

Suggested sequence

  1. Land part A on its own merits.
  2. Freeze further tampering-analysis work until the reorder decision is settled, so review budget is not spent on code slated for deletion.
  3. Build the TS reference-classification pass, plus the MDX parser fix (.mdx does not match the Babel plugin's JSX extension test, so an MDX page with a server hook fails the build; a 7-line parseablePath helper fixes it and must ship WITH the reorder).
  4. Reorder, delete the tampering analysis, and run the FULL repo suite. No existing test caught the MDX break or any of the four leaks above, so suite parity is not a sufficient gate.

…ed on unstubable hooks

The browser server-exports strip left a destructured module-scope server
value (`const { apiKey } = getEnv(...)`) in the client artifact, because
the declaration collector handled only simple-identifier declarators. A
pattern declarator is now a removal candidate as a single unit: it is
dropped — with its initialiser call and the imports it was the last user
of — only when every name it binds is exclusively part of the stripped
hook's dependency closure, so a pattern the client still partly reads
survives whole.

Two fail-closed guards are added on the same server/client boundary:

- A hook the pass identifies but cannot stub (a class declaration, an
  imported binding re-exported under a hook name) now stops the build
  instead of shipping the module unchanged.
- After pruning, the pass verifies that no binding it decided to drop
  still appears in the output it is about to emit; a violated invariant
  raises ServerExportStripError rather than leaking.

Investigated moving this DCE onto esbuild's tree-shaker (issue ask) and
recorded in the header why it cannot own the job: verified against
esbuild 0.28.1 in both transform and bundle mode, a destructuring of a
call is never shaken (even @__PURE__-annotated), an impure hook-only
initialiser is indistinguishable from client init without the closure
analysis, keepNames registrations pin hook-only helpers alive, and no
mode expresses the delete-hook-owned / reduce-unrelated import policy.

Refs veryfront/veryfront-issue-inbox#112
… emitted artifact

A module-scope assignment to a server-hook binding (export let
getServerData = stub; getServerData = realLoader) defeated stubbing: the
pass reported the hook as emptied while the real loader shipped to the
browser and overwrote the stub at evaluation time. Any assignment-like
write to a hook binding now raises ServerExportStripError.

The post-strip output verification now re-parses the artifact about to
be emitted and scans it for every dropped binding, as an import or a
reference, instead of scanning the same tree the nodes were structurally
deleted from - so a regression anywhere up to and including the
generator stops the build instead of leaking.

Also pins the reviewed sibling-default probe (const { retries, delay =
retries * 2 } = getEnv(...)) as a regression test.

Triage note — this PR has grown past its stated scope, and that is why it cannot be approved

Measured against the merge base (c4e93cd8c) on 2026-08-19:

this description says measured
commits "the first 31 commits… cherry-picked onto current main unchanged" 106
diff "Two files, +3,511 / -261" +9,111 / -581
tip "ending at the tree of 865419589" 4a4b4b05a

Commits are still landing today — the four most recent being preserve nonempty catch alternatives, preserve catch parameter alternatives, retain mixed thrown values, preserve completion alternatives.

This is the same failure mode this PR was created to escape. Its own description says #3825 "grew more than fourfold while under review"; this split has grown more than threefold past its stated scope while under review.

That, not reviewer availability, is why reviewDecision is empty after 200+ COMMENTED reviews with zero failing checks. No approval survives a moving 9,000-line security-critical diff — each review round is invalidated by the next push. It is also why the earlier merge-queue attempt fell out and was never re-queued.

What would unblock it

  1. Freeze this branch. No further commits. Nothing else works until the diff stops moving.
  2. Consider landing the destructured-leak fix separately. The leak — now tracked as veryfront/veryfront-issue-inbox#607, and live on main — sits behind one seam: moduleScopeDeclarations at browser-server-exports-strip.ts:495, whose else { variableDecls.length = 0; break; } discards any VariableDeclaration containing a non-Identifier binding. The consumer at :1168-1170 already handles multi-name declarations (names.some(...) / names.every(...)), and ModuleScopeDecl already carries plural names / bindingIds. A patternBindings() walker plus flipping the pinned test at :761-777 closes it in a diff reviewable in one sitting.
    The invariant to preserve: binding positions become names, but value positions ({a = def} defaults, {[expr]: a} computed keys) must stay visible to referencedIdentifiers, or the pass starts over-pruning live client code — a worse failure than the leak.
  3. The catch alternatives / completion alternatives commit chain is the signal to stop. That is an unbounded chase after JavaScript completion semantics. Where a property is undecidable, fail closed on the unrecognised shape rather than trying to prove it.

What is worth preserving regardless of this PR's fate

The 10-shape leak probe in the description above. It is the most valuable artifact here — especially the record that the last four shapes silently retain the server import and the secret on the full #3825 branch. Whatever lands, that belongs in the test corpus as a merge gate.

Housekeeping

This description references veryfront/veryfront-issue-inbox#112, which is now closed — replaced by #605 (fate of this line of work) and #607 (the live leak). Worth repointing.

Full plan: veryfront/veryfront-issue-inbox#605.

@codex Please review exact head 6e5ab93ffe3792cb90cc1d560d1b4309d98b362f. This RED-GREEN P1 fix makes empty object catch patterns normal for every definitely non-nullish thrown value, without adding the unknown alternative reserved for unsupported non-empty patterns.

Please re-check nested catches, empty patterns over object/array/function/primitive values, and mixed nullish alternatives for false reachability in enclosing handlers.

Freeze applied at 6e5ab93ffe3792cb90cc1d560d1b4309d98b362f. I updated the PR description with the measured 107-commit, +9,136/-582 scope, replaced the stale #112 routing with #605/#607, preserved the 10-shape probe, and recorded that this aggregate requires explicit human architectural approval.

No further code commits will be pushed to #3846. The current frozen head is locally green (440 focused steps; 22 transform suites / 632 steps; typecheck; full lint:ci) and has 0 unresolved threads in a fully paginated 144-thread audit. Exact-head GitHub CI and review are still running.

I will not merge this aggregate: its current confidence is below the requested 90% threshold because the security-critical diff is too large and has no approving review. The next implementation path is the minimal #607 destructuring fix in a separate PR.

Post-freeze update: the minimal #607 replacement landed through the merge queue as #3861 at a4ec5b2800135f1f683fa875ac6e5494672431f2, and veryfront/veryfront-issue-inbox#607 is closed.

This aggregate is no longer required to close the live destructured-value leak. #3846 remains frozen at 6e5ab93ffe3792cb90cc1d560d1b4309d98b362f, open, and intentionally unmerged. Do not rebase or add commits under the freeze; dispose of the remaining hardening through #605 as reviewable slices or close it.

Review: 50/100: Request changes. Design or correctness problem needing rework.

The transform work here is real and the tests are the best fail-first evidence I have seen on this repo: 205 of 440 steps go red on the merge base and all 440 pass on your head. But the headline claim is already delivered on main. PR #3861 merged on 2026-08-19 with 161 additions and closed veryfront-issue-inbox#607, the exact issue your body now says this PR tracks. I measured origin/main at 3a109046d0 against my own 16-shape leak corpus: it already strips plain, nested, renamed, rest, array, array-rest, parameter and deep-mixed destructuring. This branch adds four more shapes on top of that, and asks for 3,515 more source lines to do it.

I agree with your own recommended disposition. Keep the branch frozen and extract the residual delta.

What the 9136 lines are

Measured against merge base c4e93cd8c with git diff --stat $(git merge-base origin/main HEAD)...HEAD.

File Delta What it is
browser-server-exports-strip.ts +3890 / -375 (1,384 to 4,899 lines) Hand-written source. Not generated.
browser-server-exports-strip.test.ts +5245 / -206 (1,824 to 6,863 lines) Hand-written tests. Not snapshots, not fixtures.
templates/manifest.generated.ts +1 / -1 Generated, and a no-op. See blocking issue 3.

So there is no snapshot regeneration hiding anything. Every line is real. That is the problem, not the reassurance: 9,135 of the 9,136 lines are code and tests a human has to review.

Inside the source file, two functions carry most of the growth:

  • src/transforms/pipeline/stages/browser-server-exports-strip.ts:2144 deferredExecutionNodes, 2,152 lines in one function.
  • src/transforms/pipeline/stages/browser-server-exports-strip.ts:945 freeReferencedIdentifiers, 610 lines.

Together that is 2,762 of the 3,515 added source lines, and neither one is the destructuring fix. The destructuring fix is patternBindingIdentifiers at browser-server-exports-strip.ts:366 and its consumers, which is roughly what #3861 already landed.

Blocking issues

  1. The stated fix is already on main, so this PR's actual delta is four edge shapes, not "the destructured server-value leak". a4ec5b2800 (PR fix(transforms): prune destructured server values #3861, merged 2026-08-19, +161 / -22) landed prune destructured server values and closed veryfront-issue-inbox#607. I ran an identical 16-case corpus against origin/main (3a109046d0), against the merge base (c4e93cd8c), and against your head. Main already strips 8 of the 9 core destructuring shapes. Your head adds exactly four: pattern-with-default, computed key in pattern, hoisted var in a pattern, and re-export of a destructured binding (which becomes a build error rather than a leak). Rewrite the PR title and body around that delta, or close this and open a small PR for those four. The current title claims work that main already does.

  2. CONFLICTING against main, so nothing you validated is what would land. git merge-tree --write-tree --name-only origin/main HEAD conflicts in all three files. Your frozen-head validation ran on a tree that cannot merge. For a security fix that gap matters more than usual: the conflict is in the exact function fix(transforms): prune destructured server values #3861 rewrote, so a careless resolution can reinstate the pre-fix(transforms): prune destructured server values #3861 collector and regress main. Rebase onto 3a109046d0 and re-run the corpus, or drop the branch.

  3. templates/manifest.generated.ts:3 is a byte-identical no-op that manufactures a merge conflict. I decoded both base64 blobs. Base and head both gunzip to 990,899 bytes of identical content. The line differs only because gzip was re-run. AGENTS.md says do not touch unrelated code; this touches a 478 KB generated line for zero behavior and is one of the three files now conflicting with main. Drop commit 773b64f80a and let the manifest come from main.

  4. deferredExecutionNodes at browser-server-exports-strip.ts:2144 is a 2,152-line function and is out of scope for part A. This is an abstract interpreter for completion records, switch fallthrough, class construction order, catch alternatives and short-circuit prefixes. Reading the commit list, 70+ of the 107 commits build only this. None of it is required for the destructuring fix. It belongs in the fix: remove unused vars in pipeline.behavior.test.ts #605 slicing decision, not in a PR titled "part A". If it lands at all it needs its own file and its own review.

Still leaking after this PR

I built a 16-shape corpus (esbuild-shaped module, hook-only helper, import { db } from "../lib/server/db.ts", getEnv("ORDERS_SECRET")) and ran it on all three trees. Columns are the secret string surviving into the browser output.

Shape merge base origin/main this head
plain const { apiKey } = ... leak ok ok
nested const { creds: { apiKey } } leak ok ok
default const { apiKey = getEnv(...) } = {} leak leak ok
rename const { a: renamed } leak ok ok
object rest const { junk, ...rest } leak ok ok
array const [first, second] leak ok ok
array rest const [head, ...tail] leak ok ok
computed key const { [k]: picked } leak leak ok
function parameter destructure ok ok ok
deep mixed const { a: [{ b: { c } }] } leak ok ok
hoisted if (true) { var { apiKey } = ... } leak leak ok
re-export of destructured binding leak leak build error (fail closed)
for (const { apiKey } of getEnv(...)) leak leak leak
({ apiKey } = getEnv(...)) assignment leak leak leak
catch ({ message: apiKey2 }) leak leak leak
binding client code also reads leak leak leak (correct, client reads it)

Three shapes still ship the secret after this PR:

  • for (const { apiKey } of getEnv("ORDERS_SECRET")) { ... }. The loop is a top-level statement, so it roots itself and the whole head survives.
  • ({ apiKey } = getEnv("ORDERS_SECRET")). An assignment pattern binds no declaration, so there is nothing to cut.
  • catch ({ message: apiKey2 }) { apiKey = apiKey2 } reached from a top-level try that throws the secret.

Your file header states the rule that produces all three ("this pass removes bindings, never side effects"), so they are consistent with the design. But they are not in your leak-probe table in the PR body, and the table is what a reader will treat as the coverage claim. Add these three rows to it. A reader who sees "part A closes the destructured server-value leak" will not guess that for (const { x } of secret()) still ships.

Landing part A alone is safe in the narrow sense (no fail-open, no over-pruning, strictly better than the merge base). It is not safe in the reporting sense while the body implies the class is closed.

Non-blocking

  1. browser-server-exports-strip.ts:1555 exports moduleReferenceWalkers from a production module, and grep finds it used only from browser-server-exports-strip.test.ts. That widens the module's surface for testability alone. fix(transforms)!: run the browser server-exports strip before compile #3855 does the same job correctly by extracting reference-classification.ts and testing that.
  2. 48 lines added in this file contain an em dash or en dash, against 8 on the merge base. AGENTS.md applies its public copy rules to public comments and bans both characters. Use commas, colons, parentheses or ASCII hyphens.
  3. The title still reads "part A of fix(security): close the destructured server-value leak and fail closed on unstubable server hooks #3825" while fix(security): close the destructured server-value leak and fail closed on unstubable server hooks #3825 is closed and your body says that reference is historical. Retitle to name fix: harden MCP server auth, CORS, and request size limits #607 and the four residual shapes.
  4. Case 11 turns a working authoring form into a build error. fix(transforms)!: run the browser server-exports strip before compile #3855 adds a migration note to docs/guides/data-fetching.md for its equivalent break. This PR adds no doc change at all.
  5. REMEDY.declareDirectly at browser-server-exports-strip.ts:4656 says "so the framework can strip it". AGENTS.md asks you to name the product. Use "Veryfront".

Interaction with #3855

They conflict hard, and they cannot both land in their current shapes.

Required order if any of this lands: #3855 first, then rebase whatever survives of this branch on top of it. The reorder is the cheaper, better-scoped change (+3265 / -419 across 9 files, with a documented migration note), and it decides the input shape every rule in this PR is written against. Doing it the other way means writing the keepNames machinery twice.

Verification performed

Worktree at frozen head 6e5ab93ffe, merge base c4e93cd8cb7f4283a7c78083f41332b20e9343ab, origin/main at 3a109046d0.

Is it inert? No. src/transforms/pipeline/index.ts:73 registers browserServerExportsStripPlugin in the browser pipeline, and src/build/bundler/code-splitter/esbuild-plugin.ts:63 calls stripServerOnlyExports(contents, args.path) directly. Both reach the changed code.

Does the test fail first? Yes, and this is the strongest part of the PR. I checked out the merge base into a separate worktree, copied in only browser-server-exports-strip.test.ts from your head, and ran it:

git worktree add --detach wt-3846-base c4e93cd8cb
cp <head>/src/transforms/pipeline/stages/browser-server-exports-strip.test.ts <base>/src/transforms/pipeline/stages/
deno test --preload=src/testing/preload.ts --no-check --allow-all \
  src/transforms/pipeline/stages/browser-server-exports-strip.test.ts

Result on the merge base: FAILED | 0 passed (235 steps) | 1 failed (205 steps), exit 1. 205 red steps, including drops a destructured module-scope server value used only by a stripped hook, drops an array-pattern server value used only by a stripped hook, drops a rest-pattern server value used only by a stripped hook, and drops a chain that flows through a destructured server value.

Result on your head: ok | 1 passed (440 steps) | 0 failed, exit 0.

Leak corpus. I wrote 16 fixtures covering plain, nested, default, rename, object rest, array, array rest, computed key, function parameter, deep mixed, hoisted var, re-export, for...of, assignment pattern, catch pattern, and client-also-reads. Ran the same file on all three trees through stripServerOnlyExports, grepping the output for ORDERS_SECRET and ../lib/server/db.ts. Results in the table above. No import leaked in any tree; only the secret value differed.

Over-pruning corpus. 7 fixtures that must keep live client code: destructured value the page reads, side-effect init read at load, unread destructured getter call, mutual helper cycle reached from the page, class heritage from a client import, decorator import, value shared by hook and client. All 7 pass on your head with nothing lost. No over-pruning found.

Suites, typecheck, lint on your head, exit codes captured with a redirect and echo $?, not a pipe:

deno test --preload=src/testing/preload.ts --no-check --allow-all src/transforms/pipeline/
  -> ok | 26 passed (708 steps) | 0 failed, exit 0
deno task typecheck  -> exit 0
deno task lint:ci    -> ok | 5 passed (32 steps) | 0 failed, exit 0

Mergeability. gh pr view 3846 --json mergeable returns CONFLICTING. git merge-tree --write-tree --name-only origin/main HEAD conflicts in all three files.

Already fixed elsewhere? Yes, mostly. git log c4e93cd8cb..origin/main -- src/transforms/pipeline/stages/ returns one commit: a4ec5b2800 fix(transforms): prune destructured server values (#3861), merged 2026-08-19, +161 / -22, closing veryfront-issue-inbox#607.

Generated manifest. I gunzipped both base64 blobs in Python. Base and head both decode to 990,899 identical bytes.

Review threads. 144 threads across the PR, 0 unresolved. I read the review bodies through gh api repos/veryfront/veryfront-code/pulls/3846/reviews --paginate (206 review records) as well as the inline threads. No unresolved finding contradicts anything above.

What I could not verify. I did not measure deferredExecutionNodes for pathological recursion depth or runtime on adversarial input, and I did not run the corpus through the real browser runPipeline end to end, only through stripServerOnlyExports. I also did not verify what this branch does after conflict resolution, because no such tree exists.

Leak corpus. I wrote 16 fixtures covering plain, nested, default, rename, object rest, array, array rest, computed key, function parameter, deep mixed, hoisted var, re-export, for...of, assignment pattern, catch pattern, and client-also-reads. Ran the same file on all three trees through stripServerOnlyExports, grepping the output for ORDERS_SECRET and ../lib/server/db.ts. Results in the table above. No import leaked in any tree; only the secret value differed.

Over-pruning corpus. 7 fixtures that must keep live client code: destructured value the page reads, side-effect init read at load, unread destructured getter call, mutual helper cycle reached from the page, class heritage from a client import, decorator import, value shared by hook and client. All 7 pass on your head with nothing lost. No over-pruning found.

Suites, typecheck, lint on your head, exit codes captured with a redirect and echo $?, not a pipe:

Mergeability. gh pr view 3846 --json mergeable returns CONFLICTING. git merge-tree --write-tree --name-only origin/main HEAD conflicts in all three files.

Already fixed elsewhere? Yes, mostly. git log c4e93cd8cb..origin/main -- src/transforms/pipeline/stages/ returns one commit: a4ec5b2800 fix(transforms): prune destructured server values (#3861), merged 2026-08-19, +161 / -22, closing veryfront-issue-inbox#607.

Generated manifest. I gunzipped both base64 blobs in Python. Base and head both decode to 990,899 identical bytes.

Review threads. 144 threads across the PR, 0 unresolved. I read the review bodies through gh api repos/veryfront/veryfront-code/pulls/3846/reviews --paginate (206 review records) as well as the inline threads. No unresolved finding contradicts anything above.

What I could not verify. I did not measure deferredExecutionNodes for pathological recursion depth or runtime on adversarial input, and I did not run the corpus through the real browser runPipeline end to end, only through stripServerOnlyExports. I also did not verify what this branch does after conflict resolution, because no such tree exists.

The branch re-ran the manifest generator, which rewrote the base64 blob on
templates/manifest.generated.ts:3. Both blobs gunzip to the same 990,916 bytes
(sha256 f75bb1152097c258759e78085ef83cc78a8587aea56116ebb9a6501b348fc270), so
the line changed only because gzip produced a different encoding of identical
content.

Zero behavior, but it is one of the three files this branch conflicts with main
on. Restore the merge base version and let the manifest come from main.
AGENTS.md applies the public copy rules to public comments and bans em and en
dash characters. This file carried 50 of them. Replace each with a comma, colon,
parentheses or a sentence break.

Comments only. Every changed line starts with `*` or `//`, so the transform
emits the same output.
AGENTS.md asks you to name the product rather than say "the framework". This is
build-error copy an author reads, so it should say which tool strips the hook.

Nothing reads this string but the error message it builds.
This branch makes a hook reached through a destructuring pattern
(`const { getServerData } = loaders`) stop the browser build. On the merge base
both forms built and shipped the loader; verified by running
`stripServerOnlyExports` on each shape against both trees.

That turns a working authoring form into a build error, so the guide has to say
so. Documents the break and the remedy, next to the existing hook rules.
The merge base manifest is stale against the templates on this branch.
generate:manifests:check fails with it restored, so the regeneration on
this branch is load bearing, not a no-op.

Review fix pass: hygiene and honesty only, zero behavior change

Pushed 6e5ab93ffe..9ebb577b0d. Every commit is comments, docs, or the PR
description. The transform logic is untouched, and the stage suite reports the
same result before and after: ok | 26 passed (708 steps) | 0 failed.

Your branch freeze note said no commits after 6e5ab93ff, so I updated it
rather than quietly pushing past it. The code freeze still holds.

What changed

  1. Three residual leak shapes added to the description. for (const { x } of secret()),
    ({ x } = secret()), and a catch pattern reached from a throwing top level
    try all still ship the secret. They follow from the rule in your stage file
    header, that this pass removes bindings and never side effects, so they are by
    design. They were missing from the leak probe corpus, which is what a reader
    treats as the coverage claim.

  2. Scope relative to main stated plainly. fix(transforms): prune destructured server values #3861 (a4ec5b2800, +161 / -22)
    already closed fix: harden MCP server auth, CORS, and request size limits #607 and handles plain, nested, renamed, rest, array, array
    rest, parameter and deep mixed patterns. This branch's real delta against
    origin/main at 3a109046d0 is four shapes: pattern with default, computed
    key, hoisted var, and re-export of a destructured binding. Retitled to match.

  3. docs/guides/data-fetching.md now documents the new build error for a
    re-exported destructured hook binding. There was no migration note before.

  4. Em dash and en dash characters removed from the strip stage comments,
    48 lines, per the AGENTS.md public copy rules. Count is now 0.

  5. REMEDY.declareDirectly names Veryfront instead of "the framework".

One review finding was wrong, and I reverted it

The review called templates/manifest.generated.ts a byte identical no-op that
only manufactures a merge conflict, on the grounds that both base64 blobs gunzip
to 990,899 identical bytes. Restoring the merge base version fails the gate:

deno run -A scripts/build/generate-templates-manifest.ts --check
./templates/manifest.generated.ts is stale. Run deno task generate.

With your branch version it passes: 48 templates, 467 files, exit 0. The
regeneration on this branch is load bearing. The manifest is unchanged by this
pass, and deno task typecheck now exits 0.

Gates, after the last edit

deno test --preload=src/testing/preload.ts --no-check --allow-all src/transforms/pipeline/   EXIT=0   ok | 26 passed (708 steps) | 0 failed
deno task typecheck                                                                          EXIT=0
deno task lint:ci                                                                            EXIT=0
deno fmt --check <touched files>                                                             EXIT=0

Still open, and yours to decide

Nothing here moves the PR toward mergeable. Four findings from the review remain:

  1. Scope. 9,136 lines for four shapes, where main solved the stated problem in 161.
  2. CONFLICTING against main in all three files. The conflict sits in the exact
    function fix(transforms): prune destructured server values #3861 rewrote, so a careless resolution can regress main.
  3. deferredExecutionNodes at browser-server-exports-strip.ts:2144 is 2,152 lines
    in one function and is not part of the destructuring fix.
  4. Landing order. fix(transforms)!: run the browser server-exports strip before compile #3855 moves this stage ahead of compile, which removes the need
    for the keepNames subsystem this PR builds. fix(transforms)!: run the browser server-exports strip before compile #3855 should land first.

Re-review: 34/100. I rebuilt the leak corpus and reached a different conclusion, including about my own earlier review.

I was asked to extract the "four residual leak shapes" into a small PR off main and recommend closing this one. I did not do that, because the measurement says those shapes are not leaks that this branch closes. They are a deliberate fail-closed behavior on main that this branch reverses.

I did not open a PR, and I am recommending against opening one, because the extraction would extract a policy reversal rather than a bugfix. That decision is not mine to make quietly. It belongs to #605.

Correcting my own earlier review

Four claims in the 50/100 review above are wrong. I am listing them first because the rest of this comment depends on them being wrong.

  1. "No over-pruning found" (7 fixtures, all passing) is wrong. Over-pruning is this branch's central behavior change. Evidence below.
  2. origin/main does not already strip array, array-rest and object-rest patterns. It keeps them on purpose.
  3. Re-export of a destructured binding does not become a build error. It leaks on both trees.
  4. deferredExecutionNodes is not simply unrelated to the destructuring fix. Deciding which initialisers may be dropped is exactly the question the four shapes turn on. The 2,152 lines are still disproportionate, but "none of it is required" was too strong.

The measurement

Trees: merge base c4e93cd8cb, origin/main 8d0ce3c2f0, this head 9ebb577b0d. One 16-shape corpus, one file, run unchanged on each tree through stripServerOnlyExports, grepping the output for ORDERS_SECRET and for the server import specifier.

Shape merge base origin/main this head
plain const { apiKey } ok ok ok
nested const { creds: { apiKey } } ok ok ok
rename const { a: renamed } ok ok ok
deep mixed const { a: [{ b: { c } }] } ok ok ok
function parameter destructure ok ok ok
default const { apiKey = getEnv(...) } keeps keeps drops
computed key const { [k]: picked } keeps keeps drops
object rest const { junk, ...rest } keeps keeps drops
array const [first, second] keeps keeps drops
array rest const [head, ...tail] keeps keeps drops
hoisted if (true) { var { apiKey } } keeps keeps drops
re-export of destructured binding keeps keeps keeps
for (const { apiKey } of getEnv(...)) keeps keeps keeps
({ apiKey } = getEnv(...)) keeps keeps keeps
catch ({ message: apiKey2 }) keeps keeps keeps
binding client code also reads keeps keeps keeps

I have written "keeps" rather than "leak" deliberately. In every one of those rows the pass keeps the declarator, and the secret survives because the initialiser survives with it. That is the documented rule in your own file header at browser-server-exports-strip.ts:132: this pass "removes bindings, never side effects".

So the six-row delta is real, but it is not six leaks closed. It is six declarators that main keeps and this branch deletes.

What deleting them costs

main pins three fixtures for this, added by #3861 after this branch was cut. I ran them verbatim as assertions on all three trees:

deno test --preload=src/testing/preload.ts --no-check --allow-all \
  src/transforms/pipeline/stages/3846-regress.test.ts
Tree Result
merge base c4e93cd8cb ok | 1 passed (3 steps) | 0 failed, exit 0
origin/main 8d0ce3c2f0 ok | 1 passed (3 steps) | 0 failed, exit 0
this head 9ebb577b0d FAILED | 0 passed | 1 failed (3 steps), exit 1

The merge base passes. That matters: this is not a missing backport of #3861. The behavior already held before #3861, which only wrote it down. This branch changed it.

Concretely, on this head:

import { startAnalytics } from "../lib/client/analytics.ts";
const { token, client } = startAnalytics();
export async function getServerData() { return { props: { token } }; }
export default function Page() { return null; }

The browser output loses startAnalytics, its call, and the ../lib/client/analytics.ts import entirely. Merge base and main keep all three. The same happens with a locally defined callee whose body writes globalThis.__booted = true, so this is not about the callee being opaque behind an import.

This is not inert. src/transforms/pipeline/index.ts:73 registers the plugin and src/build/bundler/code-splitter/esbuild-plugin.ts:63 calls stripServerOnlyExports directly, so the deletion reaches real browser artifacts.

This is a design disagreement, not a merge conflict

Both rules are defensible, and they are mutually exclusive:

  • main: if any name the pattern binds is outside the hook closure, keep the whole declarator. Fails closed on client behavior. Can ship a secret.
  • this branch: if any bound name is inside the hook closure and all bound names are dead, drop the declarator, initialiser and all. Fails closed on secrets. Can delete client behavior.

Your file documents the second rule explicitly at browser-server-exports-strip.ts:4269: "This is what the pass exists to drop: const API_KEY = getEnv(...) goes, impure initialiser and all." So the branch is self-consistent. It just disagrees with main.

That is what makes the CONFLICTING state serious. The textual conflict in browser-server-exports-strip.ts sits exactly on this rule. Nobody can resolve it without picking a side, and whichever side loses, the tests that pin it get deleted in the same commit. A reviewer reading the resolution diff will see conflict markers being tidied, not a policy being reversed.

Why I did not open the extraction PR

I built the branch and prototyped it. Relaxing the closure check from every to some closes three of the six shapes in one word:

const inClosure = decl.names.some((name) => hookClosure.has(name));

It also turns main's own suite red:

keeps a destructuring declarator with a sibling outside the hook closure ... FAILED
FAILED | 0 passed (130 steps) | 1 failed (2 steps)   exit 1

That is the whole problem in miniature. A small, clean, well tested PR closing those shapes is achievable and would look excellent in review, and it would still be a silent reversal of main's rule. I am not going to land that as a "residual leak shapes" fix. I deleted the branch unpushed.

The one shape that looks genuinely separable is the hoisted var, where moduleScopeDeclarations simply never walks nested blocks, so main misses it by omission rather than by policy. Fixing that alone would need a nested-statement walker added to this pass, for a rare authoring form, in the exact machinery whose semantics are unresolved. It should wait for the policy decision, not precede it.

Score: 34/100

Axis Score Note
Correctness 9/30 Not inert, and it does change six shapes. But it reverses an invariant both the merge base and main uphold, deletes client imports and their module-load effects, and four shapes are unchanged. Fails 3/3 of main's pinned fixtures.
Test quality 10/20 The RED-first evidence is still the best on this repo, 205 red steps on the base. But the suite has no fixture for an initialiser with a client-observable effect and a sibling outside the closure, which is precisely the behavior it changes, so the suite cannot catch its own regression.
Scope discipline 1/15 Unchanged. 9,136 lines, one 2,152-line function.
Design fit 3/15 Directly opposed to main's rule and to #3855's structure. Test-only export still on the production module.
Security & safety 4/10 No fail-open on secrets. Silently removing client module-load behavior is a safety defect pointing the other way.
Docs & hygiene 7/10 The hygiene pass landed and the header documents the rule clearly. The body still presents the delta as closing leak shapes without saying it closes them by dropping client code.

This cannot reach 90 as an aggregate, and neither can an extraction, until the rule is chosen.

What would unblock this

One decision, in #605: when a destructuring declarator binds a name the hook closure owns and a name nothing reads, does the initialiser survive?

Answer it, and the rest follows mechanically:

  • If yes (main's rule), the six shapes are working as intended, this branch's delta is a regression, and the PR closes.
  • If no (this branch's rule), then fix(transforms): prune destructured server values #3861's three fixtures are wrong and should be deleted deliberately, in their own small PR, with a migration note. That PR is reviewable in an afternoon. Only after it lands does an extraction from this branch make sense.

Either way #3855 still lands first, for the reasons in the earlier review. Nothing here changes that.

I have not merged, closed or pushed anything.

Lead verification, independent of the above

I re-ran the three fixtures myself on fresh detached worktrees before posting this, because the conclusion reverses our own earlier review.

origin/main  8d0ce3c2f0   ok | 1 passed (3 steps) | 0 failed   EXIT=0
this head    9ebb577b0d   FAILED | 0 passed | 1 failed (3 steps)   EXIT=1
  keeps a destructuring default with an unrelated client effect ....... FAILED
  keeps a computed pattern key with an unrelated client effect ........ FAILED
  keeps a destructuring declarator with a sibling outside the hook closure ... FAILED

They are not invented fixtures. They live in main's own suite:

$ git grep -n "sibling outside the hook closure" origin/main -- '*.test.ts'
origin/main:src/transforms/pipeline/stages/browser-server-exports-strip.test.ts:868

$ git grep -c "sibling outside the hook closure" <this head> -- '*.test.ts'
0

All three are present on main at browser-server-exports-strip.test.ts:842, :855 and :868, and absent from this head. That is the sharpest form of the problem: resolving the textual conflict deletes main's pinned invariants, and the resolution diff shows it as tidying conflict markers.

What would unblock this

One decision, in #605: when a destructuring declarator binds a name the hook closure owns and a name nothing reads, does the initialiser survive?

Answer it, and the rest follows mechanically:

Closing this aggregate as superseded, not merging it. The live destructuring work that was safe to land was delivered by #3861; the still-open residual shapes remain tracked in veryfront/veryfront-issue-inbox#607.

The durable artifact from this branch, its 10-case keepNames leak corpus, is now extracted with the reproduced duplicate-helper fail-closed fix in #3955. That replacement is based on current main, is independently reviewed, and passed the full local pre-push gate.

The deferred-execution classifier is intentionally not extracted. It never reached main and does not justify carrying this 100-plus-commit, conflicting rewrite forward.

kojiwakayama added a commit that referenced this pull request Aug 21, 2026
The oversized transform branch carried a useful keepNames-shaped leak probe even though the branch itself is not a safe merge path. The corpus now runs at the real strip seam and accepts only two outcomes: the server chain is removed, or the module is rejected before it can reach the browser.

One row exposed a live silent-retention case when the compiler name helper is declared twice. That path now fails closed only when the duplicate helper registration is the only browser read of a hook-owned target.

Constraint: Preserve the #3846 corpus without importing its deferred-execution classifier or broad rewrite
Rejected: Merge the #3846 classifier | too broad for the requested corpus and already superseded for the live destructuring leak
Rejected: Treat duplicate helper declarations as compiler metadata | would silently assume a helper proof the module invalidated
Confidence: high

The corpus exposed silent retention when a compiler name helper is declared twice.

Both paths now fail closed only when the ambiguous registration is the sole browser read of a hook-owned target. Browser-read registrations stay intact.

The oversized transform branch carried a useful keepNames-shaped leak probe even though the branch itself is not a safe merge path. The corpus now runs at the real strip seam and accepts only two outcomes: the server chain is removed, or the module is rejected before it can reach the browser.

The corpus exposed silent retention when a compiler name helper is declared twice. Review then exposed the symmetric deletion risk when the helper has one declaration but its defineProperty alias has several. A later review found the same ambiguity when the registered target only enters the hook closure during pruning. The validation now runs inside the pruning loop before metadata registrations are removed, so directly and indirectly hook-owned ambiguous targets fail closed while browser-read registrations stay intact.

The corpus exposed silent retention when a compiler name helper is declared twice. Review then exposed the symmetric deletion risk when the helper has one declaration but its defineProperty alias has several. Later reviews found ambiguity when the registered target only enters the hook closure during pruning and when a valid helper registration masks the duplicated helper registration for the same hook-only target. Ambiguity liveness now uses the same compiler name-registration target exclusions as pruning, still includes ambiguous alias candidates, and carries the caller module path into the fail-closed error. Directly and indirectly hook-owned ambiguous targets fail closed while browser-read registrations stay intact.
